[Astolfo13]

•First Name: Jonathan
•Profession? Student?: Student on a break. Ideally I would like to work for a major theme park and design/theme rides and lands.
•Age: 22
•Favorite Hobby: I enjoy the outdoors, mostly hiking. I am trying to learn mountaineering.
•Favorite part of Halo: I'm a sucker for a good story, and the lore really adds to that. I also enjoy the books.
•Favorite Halo: Reach, followed closely by ODST. ODST was my introduction to the series and I like how the campaign is a much more personal story. Reach is top for me because of the story and because you are Noble 6. You mold them to your liking instead of having a set character.
•Favorite Video Game: The original Battlefront 2. That game is my childhood.
•Other Interests: Football, hockey, military history, Star Wars, the outdoors, and anime.
•Favorite Food: Right now it's yogurt. Mix up some vanilla yogurt, all natural peanut butter, a banana, and sprinkle in some chocolate protein crisps. Delicious.
•Favorite Band: Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefers
•Favorite Movie(s): Top 3. Avatar, Revenge of the Sith, and The Dark Knight.
•What do you hope to learn here?: Different techniques for construction of costumes. I'm also interested in improving my stitching and learning about electronics.
•Have you built/made a costume before?: I have assembled and painted a Jango Fett helmet.
•Do you belong to any other costume communities? If so, which one(s)?: Not currently. I would like to eventually finish my Jango Fett costume and join the 501st, however I'm more interested/focused on my plans to build a Noble 6 costume at the moment.

We accept all builds of all quality! Have you met our lord and savior trash can mech?

TheBraus's urbanmech from the mechwarrior series

I was going to avoid posting this here because it has absolutely nothing to do with Halo, but I've shared this build in the discord, much to the chagrin of the members there. I will have a small FAQ at the bottom of the post. First off, we need a trashcan to be a proper urbanmech. Preferably...
